Shannon’s Shout Outs: Sandwich Generation Edition

Did you know that July is National Sandwich Generation Month? Do you know what this is? The sandwich generation is made up of anyone who cares for their children (adult or young) while simultaneously caring for parents over 65. It’s certainly no easy situation to be in, made even tougher by the current economy.

While the sandwich generation is a relatively new phenomenon, the difficulty of saving for retirement in a job-hopping career force (plus an increase in student loan debt for many) means this could quickly become the new normal. That’s just one reason why it’s so important to spread awareness! We can start now to help those currently struggling with this and prepare for the future. Read on for more information on the specific struggles of this generation, what can be done to help, and how to prepare for the future.
